Vinyl Four Podcast
The Vinyl 4 Podcast, brought to you by Signal Syndicate Productions, puts a tournament spin on the Rolling Stone Top 500 Albums of All Time. Each week, Shawn and Craig face off with 16 randomly selected records, whittling them down through head-to-head matchups until only the ultimate “Vinyl 4” remains. Equal parts music nerdery and bracket madness, it’s a fresh take on discovering classics, debating favorites, and having fun with the albums that shaped music history.

S1 - Ep 4 – Round 4: From Dylan to N.W.A, Heavy Metal to Southern Soul
Shawn and Craig return for Round 4 of the Vinyl Four Podcast, pulling another 16 random numbers from Rolling Stone’s Top 500 albums list and battling it out to narrow things down to 4 new finalists.
This round spans generations and genres — from Bob Dylan’s poetic folk to N.W.A’s raw power, The Byrds’ jangly harmonies to Green Day’s pop-punk punch, with stops along the way for both British heavy metal and Southern soul.
To close things out, each host once again brings two personal picks they feel were unjustly left off the Top 500 — albums that deserve a second listen and a rightful place in music history.
